Toronto accepts new plastic items to Blue Bin program

Toronto's Blue Bin recycling program, one of North America's largest residential recycling programs, will become even bigger and better with the addition of new types of soft plastic material. Effective today, Toronto's recycling program accepts plastic film – the soft, stretchy type that includes bags used for dry cleaning, soil, sandwiches, bread, milk, bulk food and produce, frozen fruit and vegetables, as well as overwrap from toilet paper and paper towels.
